About Me

I am a French lady, met my husband in New York and lived in the USA since then... A Parisian in sunny California now !
I blog about the things I like. Art, design, architecture, books, photography, intriguing places, fashion, edgy stuff, inspirations of the moment, unusual, beautiful and unique pieces. Having spent my childhood in France, I write and post articles about France too. What's up is Franco-Anglo and showcases some of the exquisite things and places that I come across - hope you enjoy my " trouvailles du jour," daily musings.
